That's according to an article here in Portuguese referencing a study by The Economist Intelligence. With no time to write much about it today, Google Translate will have to do. The main numbers: 65% considered English to be fundamental, the second most important language was Chinese at 8%, then came Spanish at 6%. Apparently this is the first time that Chinese has displaced Spanish in these rankings.
